Policy Text:

For public roads, the application of road salt is designated for the purpose of s.58 under the Clean Water Act, requiring risk management plans where the threat is, or would, be significant in any of the following areas:

WHPA-A (existing, future); or
WHPA-B (VS = 10) (existing, future); or
WHPA-E (VS = 9) (existing, future); or
the remainder of an Issue Contributing Area for Sodium or Chloride (existing, future).

Without limiting other requirements, risk management plans shall include provisions for:
a) the reduction of salt usage through best management practices such as alternative de-icer materials (with lower sodium and chloride) and/or contemporary technology; and
b) the use of trained individuals in the application of road salt (could include technicians and technologists and others responsible for salt management plans, winter maintenance supervisors, patrollers, equipment operators, mechanics, and contract employees).

Timelines:
T-6: Activities (existing) designated for the purpose of s.58 under the Clean Water Act, requiring risk management plans shall be identified and confirmed within 1 year by the Risk Management Official. Risk management plans shall be established within 5 years from the date the Source Protection Plan takes effect.
T-7: Activities (future) designated for the purpose of s.58 under the Clean Water Act, requiring risk management plans, are prohibited until such time as a risk management plan is approved by the Risk Management Official, immediately upon the date the Source Protection Plan takes effect.

Monitoring Text:

MON-2: The Risk Management Official shall, by February 1 of each year, undertake the reporting requirements specified in s. 65 of O. Reg. 287/07 under the Clean Water Act, 2006 on the actions taken in the previous calendar year to achieve the outcomes of the source protection policy. Reporting shall include information related to the effectiveness of the policies in ensuring a threat ceases to be, or does not become significant, and any actions required to respond to a drinking water threat during the reporting period.
